Artemisia ludoviciana ludoviciana
Identification
Description
An aggressive perennial that is native from Baja to Ontario Canada and down to Arkansas. I've only seen it once in the wild and that was at 5500 feet in the San Jacintos. This artemisia was growing under Quercus dumosa(berberidifolia), Pinus Jeffreyi, Cercocarpus betuloides and Adenostoma fasciculatum. We have our mother plant growing in straight decomposed granite in the shade' of a Chilopsis. We never water it and it has managed in 2 years grow 1 foot. Don't drop this species into a garden if you want to have anything else. A great mat plant for edges of walkways, creekbeds', or small scale bank stabilization.
